....a gorgeous, rustic (super heavy) music stand..... thanks to Sandy, at The Shabby Cottage, who answered my call for help, following my music stand post last week, and sent me over to Ebay. I motored on over there and promptly purchased a music stand, an umbrella stand and a gorgeous French weather-vane, which all arrived yesterday .....and all had to be assembled immediately last night ... even the weather-vane... in the dark..... in the back yard. Oh they are all very gorgeous.
Looks even prettier with a violin concerto plonked on it I reckon!
A brainwave followed the installation.....I am going to frame some of my violin music (complete with old pencilled in fingerings and dynamics), and some classical music covers, and hang a set of them in the hall. I might even get them professionally framed and bypass Ikea! Heaven forbid! What do you think?A-M xx
PS This post accompanied by my all time favourite Vivaldi Violin Concerto.... for old times sake.
It's beautiful! Sure beats the Wenger stands gracing our music room :) Love the idea of framing some of your music. It might inspire you to play it again, you never know...
ReplyDeleteYou had a bumper day on ebay! Your new music stand looks fantastic and I love the idea of having some of your favourite music framed to hang too. How exciting that lots of the finishing touches are happening now.

Hello...curtains? I think you need to show us pleeeease!!! I love your music stand, so pretty, and the framed music is a gorgeous idea. I had an old postcard from Le Chateau de Gilly in burgundy where my husband and I were married and had it framed by a pro, couldn't have achieved the beautiful details on my own, worth every cent!! Go Pro...Lisa xx

They look divine. And yes although Ikea has its place professional framing does look a million times better!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the idea of framing your old music sheets and the classical music covers. That just adds that personal element to your home decoration that you can't buy in any store. Great music stand by the way, what a find on e-Bay!
ReplyDeleteLove your music stand and beautiful idea framing the music!
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea - everything that you're doing sounds fabulous. Can't wait to see photos of all your newest arrivals. Love the music stand! Leigh

Great find - very El Swisho A-M! Mr. Handel's 'Arrival of the Queen of Sheba' accompanied me down the aisle (it was actually a staircase!) at the famous/infamous nuptials with MOTH.

Ahhh...isn't it wonderful to dream, sometimes? Hope I can visit there and enjoy in your music room, listening while your Mr AM1, plays his piano.
Take care everyone.

This music standard could easily have been ANDRÉ RIEU"s; know him and his orchestra and your Australian lovely soprano singer ?
ReplyDeleteRieu is from my country, wich you know when you know the artist.
